someone actually asked me that once. well really they asked," if we evolved from monkeys are you saying i could watch a monkey at the zoo for a really long time and he would turn into a person?"

"If fundies are too stupid to understand how evolution* works, why do we pay them so much attention?"


* Does it even need to be pointed out that the theory gained acceptance and dominance so quickly precisely because it was elegant and made quick intuitive sense, even to the "rubes" of the Victorian age?

I like to reply to that with "if American colonists came from Europe, why are there still Europeans?"

Wanna have variations of this discussion all goddamn day? Go to the 'Religion and Spirituality' section on Yahoo! Answers. You'll retch.

The concise response is that we did not evolve from monkeys. Modern day monkeys and modern day humans evolved from a common ancestor. Based on archeological records, our common ancestor had more qualities in common with modern day monkeys than modern day humans.

It is also important to point out to people that while the theory of evolution is a "theory," it is a fact that species, including humans, change over time.

I've heard that one from fundietards many times. Most have never read the theory they opposed so vehemently.

We need someone to pilot our fighter planes in the future, so we're keeping them around.

This is what happens when you only read one book ever. And really, they probably had someone else reading it for them, so I'll have to say: This is what happens when you don't read and you're stupid.

@Rusty: We have remote controlled fighter drones nowadays.

man didn't evolve from monkeys. we have a common ancestor that we both evolved from.
